Thank you for advocating for them and bring awareness to the situation! 😍
This is something I try to tell my well-off family, and they tell me that it’s a victim mentality that will forever keep me poor. My family tried to talk me out of marrying my husband because he comes from a poor family… I grew up upper middle class, not even that rich. It’s so frustrating.
wow i’m sorry to read that :/
Yeah it’s amazing how capitalism is really just one big MLM propped up by shame & sound bites
you’re the only influencer that advocates for middle class
Or even, god forbid, the poor or working class
Check out Gary’s Economics!
There is no “middle class.”
Completely right. Keeps us dependent on convience foods, products, and services too.
Add alcohol, cigarettes, weed and drugs to that for those with a little more means who might otherwise become dangerous.
And lottery tickets and gambling to keep dreams alive to be the lucky ones who get out rather than organising to make life better for everyone
The top has managed to convince a lot of the poor and the middle class that the enemy is the other poor and middle class
The proof, sadly, is in the people commenting on this video angry at Chelsea for being someone who makes a decent living from YouTube and her financial education business
Yep I noticed as a social worker that most of my clients had “casual contracts” in Australia full time workers are legally mandated to have sick and holiday leave. Being employed casually theoretically involved a higher hourly rate to make up for not having these benefits. Thanks to the devaluing of unions this rate is nothing great and it meant a lot of single mums who broke a limb relying on food banks to feed their kids until they were better.
Yep. It’s economic violence.
So important to remember: there is enough for everyone. Think about that.
Even if It wasn’t so everything had to be redistribuited to permit everyone to survive. Unfortunately avidity, selfish and defeat are virtues and not sins in this society…
Yep Scarcity is an illusion
Building to little housing and letting food rot on the field keeps prices up though
@etienne2315 the pricing of goods Is an economical process very complex.
That’s what I’ve been saying! This is why I support free housing and universal income.
That reminds me of some job I had as a caretaker for old people and the pay was minuscule also it was very time-consuming. We often worked with nurses that were paid more. The head office had noticed caretakers never complained or rarely, and then they wouldn’t do it through the official way so it wouldn’t count as much. There was a form to fill in case you wanted to complain about something. You could do it via email or phone call but the only way to make sure your complaint would be processed was through using the official form. So us caretakers would never use the form, although we knew about its existence, but nurses would use it all the time. Head office once gave us a training course that included how to fill the form because they thought we didn’t know. Filling the form was long and complicated, most caretakers had 2 jobs, or could barely speak the language. It was sad that the head office couldn’t put two and two together and realise that their form was just not ideal for people who don’t have the time to handle two jobs + their kids + filling a form whenever there’s an issue (there were issues all the time). Also many caretakers were immigrants with difficulty to understand the language and they just totally ignored that, like it wasn’t 70-80% of us. I guess they had way less work on their hands thanks to us not having the time to complain
Or the head office can employ/assign someone to fill the forms for those interested/who needed it instead of adding one more extra task to the already exhausted caretakers. Even if as a part time job. There are plenty of solutions but corruption is something people in charge usually choose to go to instead of addressing the actual issue. Less work for them and more control at the same time.
I’ve come to see it as a form of “shock and awe” that they use to keep we the people off-balance.
This is the goal of Musk and Trump.
Our democracy chose tyranny. Welcome to serfdom America!
And this is why the minimum wage has been set at $7.25 since 2009
@@BeeGeeTee as a Canadian, this HORRIFIES me. Our federal minimum wage is $17.30.
And don’t forget about us entertaining ourselves to exhaustion and pitting ourselves ideologically against one another. It’s all part of the strategy to keep us distracted and dissatisfied with life.
Facts! The media is now a tool of the billionaires to keep us angry at our fellow citizens on a small piece of ideological issues!
Chelsea for president
Appreciate this!! Thank you.
Nailed it! Exactly right!
When I was in Occupy, one of the participants who lived in the inner city explained to us white middle-class folks that “you can’t depend on poor people [politically] because bad things happen to them. Their car breaks down, they have to take more shifts, whatever. It means they can’t promise to be there.”
Divide and conquer is working pretty well, too!
Yep, I have lived and at times still lives in survivor mode. You don’t have time or energy for much of anything else, like protesting.
